Orbital injuries are commonly seen in the emergency department, and if they are high-energy they can lead to concomitant intracranial injuries. Plain films, CT, MRI, and ultrasound are used in various combinations to evaluate the extent of these injuries. We describe a unique case of self-inflicted transorbital penetrating intracranial injury from the temporal wire rim of a pair of eyeglasses. Imaging well demonstrates the full course of the wire rim in situ, and pathoanatomic correlates are highlighted.
